Chapter 249: Marry Me
Bai Shunan took notes on her draft while asking, "What words are there? As long as it has nothing to do with us, just close the window."
"President Bai, it has... quite a lot to do with you," the Secretary said, then looked at the airplane outside.
Bai Shunan felt annoyed, but she could only close her notebook and walk to the window.
That helicopter was actually towing two banners; one read: Bai Shunan, marry me!
The other read: Bai Shunan, I love you.
The fuselage of the helicopter was also painted pink, and it featured a portrait of Bai Shunan.
Because the helicopter was far too eye-catching, many people nearby were watching, and some were even using cameras to take photos and record videos.
Such a nouveau riche proposal must have been the idea of some wealthy young master, right?
Bai Shunan crossed her arms over her chest and smiled faintly.
She knew at a glance that it was Gu Yunting's doing.
Only he would have such audacity.
She couldn't help but think of the past; every time Mo Wanqing returned, he would ask her to plan romantic ceremonies. This helicopter proposal now was surely something he had learned from some wedding planning company.
Before long, a drone flew out from the helicopter.
The drone flew to Bai Shunan's window, carrying a box dangling from it; it bore the logo of a well-known jewelry brand, and needless to say, she knew it was a wedding ring.
The girls in the company were extremely envious, and the little Secretary looked at her with envy as well.
"President Bai, how romantic. Are you... going to accept?"
Who would have thought, Bai Shunan closed the window, pulled the curtains shut, and said sternly, "Let's continue the meeting."
Only someone with a "love-struck brain" would accept a marriage proposal while at work.
The Secretary and the subordinates all looked at Bai Shunan in surprise, as if she were some strange creature in a zoo.
Did she have a grudge against romance?
The meeting continued.
The subordinates tried at one point to detect even a trace of distraction in her expression.
However, there was none.
She listened attentively from beginning to end; when one subordinate misstated a number, she corrected it immediately and told that subordinate to focus, as this meeting was very important and everyone's time was precious.
The phone at her side flashed from time to time, but she acted as if she didn't see it.
Outside, the sound of the helicopter gradually faded away, and the people watching the spectacle gradually dispersed.
Just when they thought the proposal drama had ended there, at the end of the workday, the little Secretary ran in again: "President Bai, the person who proposed has appeared."
Bai Shunan asked, "Where?"
"At the entrance, there are so many roses. President Bai, aren't you going out to take a look?"
Bai Shunan said, "Wait a moment, let me finish approving these documents first."
The little Secretary clicked her tongue; her boss was truly a beautiful and intelligent woman. Thinking about it, only such a woman could accomplish great things.
Ten-odd minutes later, Bai Shunan walked out of the company entrance.
Many people were gathered outside, layer upon layer, all watching the spectacle. There were employees from her own company, employees from other companies, quite a few passersby, and even television reporters had arrived.
Seeing Bai Shunan come out, the crowd cleared a path.
A pink tricycle was parked in front, and the 9,999 roses on it were blooming brilliantly. In front of the tricycle, Gu Yunting, dressed in white, was holding a guitar and singing.
"The warm spring blossoms take away the sorrow of winter, the breeze brings a romantic scent, every love song suddenly becomes full of meaning, and I suddenly see you at this very moment..."
Seeing the scene before her, Bai Shunan couldn't help but laugh.
Such a "chuunibyou" proposal scene definitely wasn't thought up by a wedding planning company; it must have been Gu Yunting's own idea.
The simpler things are, the easier they are to touch one's heart.
Someone started chanting: "Marry her, marry her..."
Gu Yunting was still singing; this guy actually had a very pleasant voice, and his way of singing was no different from a professional singer.
Moreover, he sang very affectionately.
It was just that the tricycle in the back was very comical.
After the song finished, Gu Yunting put down the guitar, and then, who knows what he was thinking, he plucked the rose petals off the tricycle and scattered them into the sky.
He probably wanted to create a rose rain, but a middle-aged man working in cleaning shouted, "Don't litter! I'll have to sweep that up in a minute."
Some girls at the scene chimed in: "Yeah, if you don't want them, you can give them to us! Such beautiful roses, don't waste them."
Bai Shunan wanted to laugh again.
In this kind of proposal ceremony, as long as the person being proposed to laughs, then the matter is more than half successful.
Gu Yunting couldn't be bothered to hand out the flowers; he said to the people nearby, "If you all like these flowers, just line up to take them. I have more at home... Hey, line up, line up, you must line up..."
In the blink of an eye, the 9,999 roses were snatched up by the crowd.
Having taken something, people felt obligated; once they had the flowers, they chanted even more enthusiastically, "Marry him, marry him!"
At this moment, Gu Yunting picked up that jewelry box again and walked up to Bai Shunan: "Nannan, marry me. I don't know how to say flowery words; I just want to give you happiness and never let you down in this lifetime."
"What if you can't do it?" Bai Shunan asked.
"If I can't do it, then I shall be like this flower." He snapped the flower in two.
Bai Shunan smiled.
"Are you agreeing?" Gu Yunting asked.
"I haven't agreed yet; I just think this matter can be discussed. Marriage cannot be hasty; there are many details, such as where the wedding will be held, whose house we spend the Lunar New Year at, whose surname the children will take, and if we can't have children, are you willing to be DINKs? Does your family have any customs of favoring boys over girls, how much is the bride price, and who does the housework after marriage? Will the postpartum recovery be at home or at a confinement center, and so on."
Gu Yunting: "I'll listen to my wife; whatever my wife wants, that's how it will be. As for my parents, you don't need to worry; they are right here."
Bai Shunan: "Huh?"
In the crowd, the parents of the Gu Family also walked out.
Mother Gu walked directly up to Bai Shunan: "Nannan, you know, I have always wanted you to be my daughter-in-law, but in the past, my Yunting was ignorant and hurt your heart. Fortunately, after going around in circles, you two have come together again. Just marry him. Our family does not have the custom of valuing boys over girls. If you want to go to the best postpartum care center for your confinement, that is fine, or if you want to hire eight or ten maternity matrons, that is also fine; anything is acceptable. After the wedding, we will not live with you, and I guarantee there will be no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts."
Beishi.
On this day, Bai Shuruo, Han Yangting, Ling Feng, Ni Xianglei, and others were having dinner together again.
During the meal, Ni Xianglei glanced at his social media feed, and then his expression turned to one of shock.
Bai Shuruo happened to see it, and she leaned against Han Yangting and asked: "Leizi, what are you doing? What did you see that made you so surprised?"
Ni Xianglei glanced at Ling Feng, thought for a moment, and then said: "Your sister is getting married."
"What?"
"See for yourself on social media."
Bai Shuruo hurriedly looked.
Ling Feng also opened his social media feed.
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, when he saw the photos Bai Shunan had posted, he still felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
